PfBlocker in Alias Only Mode - Help
-
After changing pfBlocker to Alias Only mode, the Widget on the main dashboard does not update with blocked packet count. When I go back to the deny both, the widget starts to update but the rules keep moving. How do I keep Alias Only mode yet have the dashboard widget show the block attempts ?

In "Alias" mode, the widget doesn't update the packet counts unfortunately. However using "Alias" mode offers better control of the Blocklists so you can configure each interface with different settings and/or configure Aliases to block/reject to certain local addresses or ports or schedules etc…

Thank you for your reply.
Is there anyway besides the widget to be able to look at the packet count like it showed on the widget ?

This is one option.

Or, use the alias lists to feed Snort and watch the Snort widget fill up… here's the cookbook on that:
